The U.S. Department of Labor published its Final Rule on September 30, 2016 granting paid sick leave to certain employees of federal contractors and subcontractors covered by the new law. The Final Rule applies to certain new federal contracts and replacements for expiring contracts that result from solicitations issued on or after January 1, 2017, or that are awarded outside the solicitation process on or after January 1, 2017. The Final Rule implements Executive Order 13706 signed by President Obama in September 2015.
